Can’t you primary them out of control? Join, volunteer & push out the limp fucks? I mean, the Tea Party was able to take over the GOP in less than a decade
This seems to be a very good point on it’s surface. However, the GOP got cooked by a dozen billionaires working very hard and spending a lot of money against a dozen other billionaires. The tea party and eventually the magats, where in no way grass roots.
If you can find a few dozen billionaires, and they might have to be centi-billionaires at this point, it’s not the 90s anymore, if you can find a dozen of them, you have a chance to sway the DNC over the next 30 years just like the magat billionaires did.
Do you know a dozen hundred billionaires who want a 95% tax rate on their fortunes, strong, pervasive worker unions and legal protections, a $70 minimum wage, an end to “political donations”, a complete overhaul of the police and judicial system, free education and healthcare, etc? I bet we can’t find one that wants even just the first one.
Because the parties can cheat declare whoever they want winner or just whatever the FBI will kill you if you go too far left and are politically viable its w whole thing
Why don’t progressives just uppercut these fuckers’ jaws out in the primaries if they have it right?
Because the DNC is controlled by the elites. You cannot fix the system by voting in it, it’s rigged to their advantage.

Are these bilionaires standing over you in the voting booth?
Yes, at the tabulating machines.
No the primary is controlled it doesn’t actually have to obey its rules this most recent time they didn’t even hold one
Bar some very specific cases, they’re holding primaries for every electable house and senate seat that comes up every 2-4 years.
Sure, party leadership tries to steer these (same as GOP) but if you want to break their balls: that’s where to do it
no, they already argued that the primaries are a suggestion to get the feeling of the voters and are not binding.
